About the water filter cartridge.
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the
back upper right corner of the refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
The filter cartridge should be replaced
every six months or earlier if the flow of
water to the water dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first
remove the old one by slowly turning it
to the left. Do not pull down on the
cartridge. A small amount of water may
drip down.
Apply the month and year sticker to the
new cartridge to remind you to replace
the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with
water from the tap to allow for better
flow from the dispenser immediately
after installation.
Lining up the arrow on the cartridge
and the cartridge holder, place the
top of the new cartridge up inside
the holder. Do not push it up into
the holder.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position.
Cartridge will rotate about 1/2 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for
3 minutes (about one and a half
gallons) to clear the system and
prevent sputtering.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may
cause water to spurt from the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug
when a replacement filter cartridge is not
available. The dispenser and the icemaker
will not operate without the filter or filter
bypass plug.
